Translation missing: en.Tasting notes
The Reserve Renegade from Ken Forrester is an impressive Rhône blend with structured depth and a velvety finish. This complex mix of Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvèdre combines South African fruit with classic elegance.
The nose reveals concentrated aromas of wild red berries, complemented by spicy, peppery notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and liquorice. The rounded palate has a subtle note of salty black olives and delicate smokiness.
The grapes are hand-picked and gently fermented in open tanks. The wine is then aged for approximately 18 months in French barriques (second and third use), giving it its dense structure and elegant balance.



Shiraz, Grenache, Mourvèdre
This cuvée brings together juicy fruit, spice and a firm structure. Grenache often contributes red berries, ripe fruit sweetness and a rounded body; Shiraz adds dark berries, pepper and depth of colour. Together with Mourvèdre, Shiraz provides tannin and backbone. Mourvèdre can also bring earthy, herbal and savoury notes that deepen the fruit profile.
This combination is common in regions including the southern Rhône and South Africa. Depending on the site and ageing, the style ranges from approachable and fruit-forward to powerful and tannic. The freshness depends largely on the climate and harvest timing; Shiraz can contribute supporting acidity, while Grenache often tends to be softer.
In the glass, the cuvée is usually ruby red to deep red, with a rounded to concentrated palate and a spicy finish. It pairs well with grilled meat, legumes or braised vegetables.
